Our Reviews

  • positive review  RHR is perfect at matching dogs with their furever home. All the pups are very loved and well taken care of in their care. Our adopted pup came with great training and they were there to help us along the way!

  • positive review  We adopted Mr. Ozzy on Sept. 14th from Rhode Home Rescue & could not be happier with our experience! First off, Ozzy is the best little addition to our family, he is the sweetest most calm tempered pup I have ever met! All he wants to do is sleep and cuddle! Roo, the amazing volunteer I worked with was there every step of the way to answer any questions or concerns we had throughout the process. Everyone was well organized and so empathetic to us as new adopters and gave us as many resources and tools we needed for the adoption and adjustment process to be successful which I was so impressed with! I am still in contact with Roo, she checks in every so often to make sure things are going well and everyone is happy and adjusting well. This rescue really puts in the time and effort it takes for a successful adoption between adopters and adoptees. We are so lucky that Ozzy came into our lives and the friends from Rhode Home Rescue we made along the way! Thank you Rhode Home Rescue!!

  • positive review  Thank you Rhode Home for everything you are doing to help pets in need find homes! We adopted Frankie (Formally known as Nova) last weekend and I'm sure there was a lot of behind the scenes work to get her to us! We filled out an application online and then when we arrived at adoption event all of our information was in the system and process went super smooth. Enough about logistics though! Frankie is an absolute beauty and all her health needs were up to date and she is an absolute joy to have in our home.

  • We adopted our wonderful puppy Molly last week from this organization. I can't say enough good things about them! We had been trying to adopt for awhile but we couldn't find the right dog in local shelters and many of the rescue organizations either felt like puppy mills in disguise or were horribly disorganized or rude. Not these guys! They are thorough and the wonderful volunteers do everything they can to make sure the dogs go to good homes but unlike other rescues we communicated with did not pressure us into adopting right away or adopting a particular dog and we didnt feel judged at all. I love how once you are approved, you are able to look for the right dog for 6 months instead of committing to a dog you've never met and being told you can only meet them if you bring them home that day. They didn't pressure us at all and to be honest that made all the difference. We fell in love with Molly and her foster was wonderful. The woman who conducted our interview and home inspection was really great too and we owe it to her we lucked out with Molly. They were honest with us and told us up front that she knew zero commands, was not housebroken, hated her crate, and had never been on a leash before. We were glad they allowed us to make an informed decision and she has already learned sit and stay and had no accidents yesterday! She is also doing so much better in her crate and on a leash. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to add this wonderful dog to our family and to anyone who is looking for a dog or puppy I can't recommend this organization enough!

  • We are SO in love with our puppy! Thank you RHR for everything you guys are amazing! Not only was it an easy process to fill out an application, we heard back within the next 48 hours of applying, had a phone interview, and within the next week we got to meet our puppy. They really want to make sure each dog is going to a loving home. Our baby is so happy to be with us ��

  • RHR has been the aspect of 2016 that I am most proud of. I am so incredibly thankful that the people of this organization welcomed me into their family of furry animals and the people who love them. I have never seen such teamwork, amazing organization, dedication and an endless amount of in dying love for pups in need. I am honored and pround to be a part of this organization. They have done more than save pups lives, they gave these pups the chance to save people's lives too���
